What lies in the dark, your worst fears come to life? Or is it simply your imagination…

When your parents send you into the dark basement, you know something lurks in the shadows, waiting for you. You carefully crack open the door, the darkness threatening to swallow you whole. As you reach around the corner to flip on the light switch, something touches your fingertip, something that shouldn’t be there. And maybe it isn’t there, maybe it’s all just in your head.

After discussing this piece of art with some of my horror fans, the piece evolved into a sorta of Choose Your Own Adventure style art piece. The first iteration features a wonderfully playful clown. The second piece is a cute, little spider. Eventually this will be an entire series within itself, featuring the same setting, child, door, etc. but featuring different terrors, the things that lurk in the shadows, or hide in the darkest parts of our imaginations.
